Ryker Galaska (UNC-Wilmington) drew a bases-loaded walk to tie the game at 1-1, before AJ Carter (University of Northern Colorado) lifted a sacrifice fly to put the Battle Jacks ahead 2-1. Ty Tomlinson (George Mason University) then added an RBI groundout, extending the lead to 3-1.<\/p>\n<p>The score remained unchanged until the eighth inning, when the Mallards\u2019 offense erupted. Jordy Lopez (University of California Berkeley) tied the game at 3-3 with an RBI double, followed by Mikey Bell (Gonzaga University) who delivered a two-run single to give the Mallards a 5-3 lead. Cole Kosciusko (UC Santa Barbara) and Carson Hansen (University of Kentucky) each added RBI hits, capping a seven-run inning and pushing the score to 8-3.<\/p>\n<p>Mitch Namie (New Mexico State University) hit a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning to make it 9-3, and the Mallards went on to win by that score. Taylor Penn (Western Kentucky University) earned the win in relief for the Mallards, his first of the season.
